Expert Picks

Temple has been inconsistent this season, but the Owls maintained their reputation as a stout ATS club as a significant underdog. They covered three of four times as double-digit underdogs, with the lone falter at Cincinnati. Penn State has been rock-solid at home, covering six of its last seven. But the NIT rule changes seem to have influenced games on the lower-scoring end, and these teams are both solid with their half-court defense. Temple should do enough Wednesday to stay within this generous number.

The Owls have lost five of their last seven, and this line is skewed as a result. The AAC is an undervalued conference and there is a reason the top two teams are high seeds in the NCAA Tournament. Look for the best player on the court tonight, Quinton Rose, to raise his draft stock and keep this game close throughout. The bottom line is these teams are too close in talent for this disparity in the spread.
